@thiefwho​ said: "Can't say I see why she takes a likin' to you."

     Oh, how very snide.

      “Nor I you,” Kuja replied, and once certain the ‘she’ in question was well out of earshot, followed his words up with a long, scrutinizing stare. 

      “...You must have an astounding sense of humor.”

@thiefwho​ :     He spots Hawk on the window. "Okay kids shh, shh, mom's fast approaching." He gently hushes them, their giggles hard to contain as they hide behind what they can. Locke choosing to hide behind the table where a cake awaits Terra on this very special day. When the door swings open it's when Hawk signals them with wide and open wings. Everybody, Locke included, bounce up from their spots. "Happy birthday mama!" With glee, the kids say. "Happy birthday ma-I mean Terra!" Locke rephrases after.

    she did think it was all awfully peculiar —— locke’s insistence to look after the children when it wasn’t one of his usual days to visit mobliz nor one of her usual times to venture into town for supplies , her children offering practically volunteering for the indoor chores for the day while designating their mama to do patrol with the treasure hunter’s avian , and hawk being rather slow in his surveilling ... ... she did not question it in front of the children , but alone with locke’s companion as she did her rounds circling the rebuilt village , she was able to express her thoughts .  ❝ locke’s acting a little funny , isn’t he ?  the children too .  i wonder why ...  do you know ? ❞ she asks the bird , knowing she shall receive no significant answer in return .  still , she smiles all the same at the bird that seems to have a twinkle in his eyes , as if to say she should ask the person in question himself .  ❝ hm , you’re probably right . ❞ 

     a brush of wind caresses her face , cascades of seafoam obscuring her vision as she turns back to make her way to the house .  she notices hawk is no longer with her and is already far ahead , no doubt eager to return to his world-worn adventurer .  duane and katarin greet her along with way with knowing eyes and smiles ; even their child giggles . as if aware of a mystery that is veiled to her .  a swell of expectation arises within the esper , as if something is about to happen .

     ( what is it about today ...  something about today — )  but she harboured neither uneasiness nor trepidation , for it seemed as if today’s peculiarities revolved around the man of whom she cherished and trusted most of all .  that is why instead of fear , she felt inexplicable expectation and excitement , the very same sentiment she had felt when she had experienced an airship for the first time or when he had taught her how to pick her first lock .  she approaches te doorstep and turns the knob , and she understands why .

     cheerful declarations cry out in unison as she basks in delighted faces and a most delicious dessert to partake .  her face is alight with awe as she returns the hugs of all of her children , eager for her to try the cake and open presents .  she thanks them all as her eyes meet the treasure hunter’s , the mastermind of it all , hawk having swooped inside and to his shoulder .  a clever pair , indeed .  she smiles tenderly , as if the gesture alone could hope to encompass a portion of her gratitude .  her children and the celebration monopolise her time now , but she’d find time later to thank him properly .

     later is when the festivities have ended and the children are sound asleep .  she leans against his shoulder as they sit on outside with cups of tea , reminiscing .  she thanks him — but not before she teases him first .  ❝ say , you were about to call me ❛ mama ❜ too , huh ?  when everyone said happy birthday , i heard it a little .  i don’t remember having such a big child , but you’ve really grown up , locke ! ❞  the esper smiles and sighs in content .   ❝ thank you . ❞  she cherishes him and her children and all of their friends , pecularities and all .

☀  @thiefwho​  :   ❝ i’ve done things that have no name. ❞  ☀   LORD HURON : accepting

Hands rested on hips, but his gaze was anything but inquisitory, judgmental. For Locke’s tone had sounded low, soft, barely more than a whisper - yet spoken with resilient conviction, a decision that had probably allowed those words to even be heard by the boy. He wanted him to rest assured. There was nothing to say more, and justifications weren’t in order -- no one did need to know more than what Locke would have ever been comfortable letting out. Tidus himself was no different; for once that the biggest mouth hadn’t happened to be his own, he felt he had to say something, too. But, to list actions bearing no name -- would that even be possible ?

Tidus knew nameless matters would have found other ways, other means to be recognized and called as, if ever deemed necessary... he learned it through time, or so he believed. The edges of said memories were confused still, the traces behind it almost had faded away almost completely - yet, the mark it left, imprinted inside his head, was as fresh as ever: it was a slow process of convincement, that belonged to no one else but to the interested party.  ❛ Hey, you think I’ll mind ? ❜  he said, with just the semblance of an overly-serious tone, quickly replaced by a softer one, accompanied by a smile. His hands left the waist, one of the two rising with a thumb up.

❛ It’s your story, you don’t have to dive in deep details; not with me, not if it’s hard~ ❜  he assured him, teeth-gritting grin.  ❛ If anything, now go for the things easy to be called, nicest things ! ❜

@thiefwho​ said :     Boops her nose.

    she’s deep in thought , questions swirling , colliding , overlapping one another .  the girl is a mystery that implores answers , an important truth hidden in the midst of a harsh cacophony .  perhaps he notices from her silence or the sudden halt of her steps , or how although she is right behind him , she feels leagues apart , as if any moment now , she could disappear in front of him into the chasm of her mind .  perhaps that is why , light as a finger , his touch grazes the tip of her nose , gently but just enough to bring her back to him , and the spell that has entranced her is lifted at once .

     ❝ huh ? ❞

     startled , the former soldier blinks , mouth ajar and widened eyes suddenly alert to her surroundings , in particular to the smiling face — and she could have sworn she had gleamed a hint of relief — of a certain treasure hunter .  somehow , his presence calms her and she relaxes , fretfulness now forgot .

     ❝ locke ... ❞

     smiles seem to come so naturally for the adventurer , although she cannot help but feel a strange weight to it .  there is something there , beneath the apparent cheerfulness that effortlessly draws her in ... ... but she senses she shouldn’t ask .  it is another door that cannot be opened just yet .

     ❝ sorry ... ❞  lilac irises trail down ; if she was a normal girl , she would probably feel embarrassed to have been caught off-guard .  but she is not a normal girl .  ❝ did you say something ?  i ... ... wasn’t paying attention ... ❞

Do you have any arcs planned out or already in the works for your blog?

burnt out mun // @thiefwho

I guess you could say I have some in the works currently… that makes me sound really sophisticated, but in all honestly I’m quite lame. If by arcs if there are verses I’m working on expanding upon, and perhaps fleshing the character out more. 

In my Crisis Core verse, Yuffie’s partnering with Frisk to explore the underground and partner with the monsters. I’m very much interested in the whole relationship between Wutai and the spirits / monsters / demons / summons. It’s interesting enough that they are comfortable with spirits to commune with them openly, and they also seem to be the only community with an organized religion ( whereas the Cetra seem to revere the planet… I’m assuming it was a little open to interpretation, like wiccans, if they weren’t just pagan like other indigenous religions ). So when the demon contracts came into play, it made Wutaians even more interesting. I’m looking forward to developing how that came to be.

In Kingdom Hearts verse, Yuffie trains with some of the Lights to help them develop their skills for the Final Battle. I think it would be fun to interact with some TWEWY characters in either this verse, or my modern verse just adapted for TWEWY. Given that there may not even be Final Fantasy characters in the upcoming installment, I don’t know if it’s worth investing too much into right now… that, and I’ve talked not too long ago about Yuffie’s backstory in KH. We’ll just see where KH3 takes us all.

I think that’s really it right now? But stuff I’d like to do would probably be… 

working with the Dirge of Cerberus verse because it’s just really interesting, her being part of the WRO, and then how she interacted with Deepground. 

And while this is less of a verse arc, I think an interesting character development arc is working more with Yuffie as she transitions from… always thinking about the world and Wutai to herself. I think part of the reason she doesn’t explain her feelings with Cloud, for example, is that she hasn’t really been given opportunity to say it’s okay for her to do that. So more opportunities in which she’s given these periods where she has to focus on what she wants, rather than like… what’s expected of her, I think that would be really fun and interesting. Though I do want for Cloud and Yuffie to get through the awkward stage and be cutesy soon, they deserve it, they are good kids.
